The approved forms cover:\n\n* **Import declarations** for warehoused goods entering the local market\n* **Returns** for similar goods that have already cleared customs  \n* **Returns** for goods that received special clearance\n\n**Who it affects**\nCustoms brokers, importers, and warehouse operators who handle goods stored in bonded warehouses (secure storage facilities where imported goods are kept before final import approval and duty payment).\n\n**Why it matters**\nWithout this approval, these specific forms could not be used legally to declare warehoused goods to Customs. It ensures standardized documentation for tracking goods moving from storage into the Australian economy."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-22-of-2005","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-22-of-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-22-of-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-22-of-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-22-of-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-22-of-2005/documents"}}
